Blackberry Encryption and Threat to National Security

I have been following up the topic from quite some time now.  The whole issue of National Security in danger is very much right from the context of being able to intercept the secure messaging that Blackberry Services Provide. But, there is a Pandora's Box that would open up if the stuff is done unplanned and without adequate Law Enforcement.  You would be thinking as to what am I talking about?

Well consider a situation where the Government and Security Agencies start intercepting the secure mail flow as well as secure messaging services from Blackberry.  This will provide them access to the Sensitive and Confidential Corporate Data too.  here lies the trouble as the Law enforcement agencies might unnecessarily misuse the data or more so this might lead to Horse Trading to gain insider information by the competitors.  Does Government Want to get into these troubled waters without adequate Data Management and Privacy Law in place and without adequate technical arrangements from its side?

Surely the Home Ministry as well as the whole Government Machinery will have to think High on this side to ensure that they DO ADDRESS the concern of Data Management and Disposal of Legitimate Data that is in NO WAY Threat to National Security.

1. ensure you have iOS 4.0 also available with you, 
2. upgrade your phone to iOS 4.0.1
